What the guessers of the world need to understand is that once a dot is connected it cannot be disconnected simply for convenience. It is very convenient to admit that these three guys were more than just names from the past and that they had little or no influence on him. Obama even made a statement that guesser quoted downplaying his relationship with Rashid Khalidi. That is something you do when you are on the defensive. Khalidi is not involved in Obama’s life according to Obama and guesser but consider this:
Khalidi is longtime a friend of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. In the 1990s, Obama and his wife were regular dinner guests at Khalidi's Chicago home. During the 2000 election cycle, Mr. and Mrs. Khalidi organized a fundraiser for Barack Obama's unsuccessful congressional bid. In 2001 and again in 2002, the Woods Fund of Chicago, while Mr. Obama served on its board, made grants totaling $75,000 to Khalidi's Arab American Action Network. In 2003 Obama would attend a farewell party in Khalidi's honor when the latter was leaving the University of Chicago to embark on his new position at Columbia.
In a 2008 interview, Khalidi praised Obama effusively, stating that, if elected President, Obama would be more understanding of the Palestinian experience than other politicians. "He has family literally all over the world," Khalidi noted. "I feel a kindred spirit from that."
So what do you think based on what is going on in Israel right now. Wouldn’t you say that Obama is “more understanding of the Palestinian experience” than is he of the Israeli experience. Actions speak much louder than words. Could that be why Fox says you be the judge. Have you ever heard that from the mouth of a liberal. Right.
